Patient's question:
Recently, I suddenly felt some itching in my vulva, and during the day, the itching was so intense that I couldn't sit still. I kept wanting to scratch it with my hands. I went to the hospital, and they told me I have leukoplakia of the vulva. The doctor said this is related to endocrine issues, as well as diet. They advised me to pay attention. What are the dietary restrictions for patients with leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
The causes of vulvar leukoplakia are multifaceted. On the other hand, it may be related to changes in hormone levels within the body. It is also associated with an increase in the body's resistance, improper dietary structure, and exposure to various external adverse factors. In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a light and gentle diet, consume more fresh vegetables and digestive vitamins, and avoid foods such as seafood, marine products, spicy, stimulating, greasy, and fried items, as well as foods that tend to cause internal heat. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid smoking and drinking beer.
